Answer:

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Late delivery.

Event B: Service 2 was used.

A certain company sends 35% of its overnight mail parcels via express delivery service 1 and the rest by express delivery service 2.

100 - 35 = 65%.

So P(B) = 0.65

Service 2 has a record of 2.0% of packages being delivered late.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.02

Probability of a late delivery.

35% from service 1. Of those, 3% are late.

65% from service 2. Of those, 2% are late.

So

P(A) = 0.35*0.03 + 0.65*0.02 = 0.0235

What is the probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

P(B|A) = \frac{0.65*0.02}{0.0235} = 0.5532

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

Please help!! Geometry, will mark brainliest!
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

n = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent , that is

AB = DC , substitute values

\frac{2}{3} n - 5 = \frac{1}{3} n + 7 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions )

2n - 15 = n + 21 ( subtract n from both sides )

n - 15 = 21 ( add 15 to both sides )

n = 36

10- 3/4z = 8<br><br> Somebody, please help me! I don't get this!
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

z = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

10- 3/4z = 8

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10- 3/4z = 8-10

-3/4z = -2

Multiply each side by -4/3

-3/4z * -4/3 = -2 *4/3

z = 8/3
